Good answer N,

I've done the same until I decided to start cutting calories in small
ways. Mayo does a good job at blocking soggy, but keeping it separate
from the tomatoes help (helps on the dripping also), and so does having
the lettuce between the tomato and the bread. A nice think crusty bread
does well also, and has the advantage of keeping the nice tomato juice
in the sandwich. Preferably sourdough for me.
